Seven nights in Funchal

Our seven night holiday in Funchal is the perfect slice of Portuguese island life.

Madeira’s capital city has a wonderfully laid-back, relaxing pace of life which you can’t help falling into as soon as you arrive. We’ll normally recommend a stay at one of our favourite hotels in the city – the charming Quintinha Sao Joao; it’s a short walk/taxi ride from the main seafront Avenida do Mar, the marina, and the famous Zona Velha restaurant district. You’ll have time to explore the city – time to ride the teleferico cable car and the Carro de Cesto taboggans, to take a tour of the Blandy wine lodge and to head to sea on a whale and dolphin watching trip. You could explore further afield by including one of our private guided tours to the dramatic east coast or the mountains of the far north west.

You can also personalise your holiday – if you’d prefer to self-cater our one bedroom cottage at Casa das Vinhas is perfect for a couple, and our Old Town Apartments are ideal if you’re a family of four, or if you’d like to stay in the heart of the bustling Zona Velha.
